askey looking aside asquint or awry assay proofe or a triall
the history of the world is always played out at dawn

then he asked me, why I had so few words ?
I am not she that list

& it is here that I went astray, here
that I was mistaken, here I was
unmade at newgate
allow me to add something about fire—
I might (he said) deny it later vexed sore sick cease & desist

the sinews & the strings & the spaces between
all the matter that holds one together. albeit unsavory, there is this odd
resemblance (thys unsaverye symylytude)
notwithstanding, after much ado & reasoning to & fro—

asked & answered, mine
an askew—
(as woodcut)

an ugsome something

for certain words by the spoken against (an onlye signe)
alack poor mouse coy dame unshamefast whore
alias escue (as sign only) I Anne Askew of good memorie I Anne Askew of good memorye
women & chicken are easily led
so be it [. . .] so be it. by me.

for certain words, a penny dirge— the law turned wormwood
I might (he said) deny it later (if need were)
when the bodies pile up we
call that history
&amp: (as ever) played out at dawn
at smithfield. from the index : Anne Askew, not all dead

but then died in their opinions

rack & ruin, mine
an askew—
the sum of my examinations (both first & latter)
the sum of a quest (12 men)

is it not a little marvel (here I am unmade)
I laye styll & ded not crye (how still)

one destined to drown can never be hanged
one who stares into fires dreams while awake

how still deny it later I might in my opinions led

null & void, mine
racked
& jointed— diverse & sundry
sundered till the sinews & the strings of her eyes perished
in her head in my opinons led desist

pinion (as in to bind, wing joint) & pinion (as in crenellation)
the articulation of the body

alack poor alias whereunto I made them no answer but smiled
schismatic what meate he is
what herbs in my garden
shall I vild wretch

then he said I was a parrot I might (he said) deny it again
if need were a token to be recieved at the mouth

still & did not (how still) in my
opinions the law a token at the mouth (none where none) here
